If your family needs help providing Christmas gifts for your child, Matthew 25 Food Pantry is here to help.
Please call us at 518-943-5890 to register your child. Children must be 11 years old or younger to qualify.
To help us reach as many families as possible, if your family has received assistance from Matthew 25 during the past two years, we kindly ask that you contact another local organization for assistance this year.
All interested families must register by November 21, 2026.
Together, we can make Christmas a little brighter for every child in our community!
M25 Backpacks
Matthew 25 handed out over 100 school backpacks with school supplies in it! The children got a chance to pick out whatever backpack they wanted for school. We gave them the supplies and they were able to enjoy a hot dog or hamburger before they left It was a GREAT day and enjoyed by ALL!

Power Pak Begins... 2024/2025
Please look for your registration letter! We will be sending it home with your child in their backpack. Fill it out and return to the Main Office at the Catskill Elementary School with Attention to: Patti Dushane.
Your child will receive a blue bag every Friday. In it will be food for Saturday and Sunday. Our food is shelf stable and the kids should be able to make it themselves. Have your child return the empty bag back to the NURSES OFFICE every Monday, that way we can fill it again for the following week.
Thank you so much! We are looking forward to serving you again this school year.
